A blog dedicated to the hobby aspect of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40k universe. This blog covers painting, converting, scratch building, and sometimes even playing Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Blood Angels, or other armies as I get around to painting them.

Death Guard Rhino WIP 1

My Death Guard army is almost playable! I've painted loads of rhinos, and some are more inspired than others, but few of them were completed as quickly as this one. I started this model while on a video chat, and finished it the following morning. It needs paint chipping and additional streaking, but I am happy to add it to the force. I am not certain about the darker green color. That is a byproduct of painting the base colors at night when I can't see so well. I suppose once I have added fresh mud to the model it won't matter. It will blend in with all the other muddy infantry bases and gear.

I think, and this just me but next year for the NOCF you and Mordian 7th should have a build off where you both build and paint a similar sized but conflicting start collecting set for the auctions but have a race to see who can do it faster. Damn it you guys are fast!

I really like the green. I am not to sure about the purple though... it does not have the same depth as the green. It kind of looks a bit of compared to the realism of the rest of the model. I and I concur with Zab, you are moving fast. As usual I am very impressed with your painting.

Awesome as always. I snuck out earlier and bought the 8th boxed set and have to say that for the first time in four years, I'm excited about WH40k! Seeing models like yours makes me want to start building and painting.

Thank you very much! I am so happy to return to 40k. I hope you post images of your painting process so you can inspire people as well. Let's keep passing on the enthusiasm and encouragement to others! :)
